We have released 90,000 Criminal records, which cover
indictable offences in England and Wales between 1782 and 1892. The records
also uniquely cover prisoners 'pardoned', criminal charges
and those classed as 'criminal lunatics'.
These records from The National Archives cover the following:
- HO27 - Criminal Registers, England and
Wales
Registers of all persons in England and Wales charged with indictable
offences showing the results of the trials, the sentences in case of
conviction, and dates of execution of persons sentence to death.
- HO13 - Criminal Entry Books
Lists of pardons.
- HO20/13 - Prisons Correspondence and
Papers
Including Bethlehem Hospital criminal lunatics and other asylums.
- CRIM1 - Central Criminal Court
Depositions
Statements on oath used in evidence in trials at the Old Bailey and
pardons if granted.
The 1800s in England and Wales was a place where it was not difficult to get
into trouble and end up facing a severe punishment, perhaps even the death
penalty. These new records may help shed light on a family relative who
broke the Law and paid the consequences.
